Amazing entry ! Nice interpretation of the theme ! Beautiful game and cool gameplay ! I love the art syle ! Congratulations ! Amazing game !

kason 2019-10-08 16:02

Very fun! I loved playing this!

Great take on the theme ! It kind of felt like a tower defense game where you can actually move. Also, awesome production values (theses graphics !)

Pluses : - Simple and rewarding gameplay. Not being able to move freely was disorientating at first, but I think it was an excellent choice - Fun upgrades - Good difficulty curve, it is actually possible to see a lot of the game on the first try. - The graphics and the sinking animation <3

Possible improvements : - Maybe add a (one-use) alternative to the cannon in early-game to prevent the player from dying early

All in all, excellent game ! One of the best I have rated so far.

Very cool game. Certainly fits the theme, and it's very unique on the graphic side too!

entropy 2019-10-08 16:06

Jeez, this is gold. I'm leaving this comment and then I'm going to play it again x) ! The gameplay is awesome, and it's really nicely done and polished. The theme is respected, the art (animation and audio) is perfect, the mechanics are simple yet fun and addictive. Well done !

alexsogge 2019-10-08 16:07

Very nice one. I loved your graphics

seabird 2019-10-08 16:08

Very well done! I got hooked up by the pleasant atmosphere, and the game was very fun and relaxing. Check out our game: Murder on peacock street, let us know what you think. Visit our instagra​m for weekly content about game dev, digital art, sound fx and more (@seabirdentertainment)

Really good game, I played it a few times. A bit hard and takes a while to start building a nice raft and I was a bit confused in the beggining (I thought I could swim) but other that those things this game is amazing. Great art and fun / addicting gameplay. Good job!

It quit turning and spawning mines, so I built a funnel.

It's a great game, I thought it was a little hard until it stopped working right. Visuals are amazing, great concept!

goupixm 2019-10-09 20:26

Your character on the same leaf as us, haha! The game is simple but attractive and relaxing, it's really cool! The animations are really cute too! Good work ! :D

ghostgoatsgames 2019-10-09 20:29

This is amazing! Really love the art. No real complaints for it being made in such a short time span.

gildar76 2019-10-09 20:35

Awasome use of the theme. Nice and clear visuals!

oceanm 2019-10-09 20:59

I really enjoyed the graphics and the whole feel and vibe of this game. Though I felt it very difficult to progress further into a larger raft before enemies would come destroy it.

nisovin 2019-10-09 21:19

This is an incredible game, I think it's one of the best I've seen so far. It looks amazing and plays really well. I wish I had a rudder or something.

ruddgasm 2019-10-10 00:15

The graphics are what drew me in and made me want to play. The art style felt cohesive and everything fit in the world that you built. I thought the little leaf on your character was funny. The game was also engaging and fun, I just wish there was some sort of win state (unless im missing something). Even without a defined end the game was fun and relaxing to play. Great Work!

bryvox 2019-10-10 02:00

Fun game and pretty challenging too! Great use of the theme. I love the gameplay and graphics. Really well done :clap:

oxrock 2019-10-10 02:06

Very nice game, I very much enjoyed this one.

ioleoso 2019-10-10 08:27

Nice game! Also a super current topic in this great-garbage-patch era.

It's actually both unusual and interesting not being able to move the character but having to wait for the garbage to come in your area.

pio 2019-10-10 09:15

Very fun and addicting gameplay! Nice graphics and audio, great use of the theme. Great game!

pandanym 2019-10-10 09:23

I had a lot of fun with this one. The concept is great but the execution is what makes it amazing. The art style is gorgeous and the game plays well ! Great entry :)

oakwarrior 2019-10-10 09:57

Really nice fun! Would also work great on mobile ^__^ Also has super cute graphics.

joaosoliva 2019-10-10 11:41

wooow that's amazing. I've already spent a couple hours playing it :smile: Beautiful aesthetics, very polished and lots of fun. Congrats :D

bredera 2019-10-10 11:51

cool little game, liked the art style and the mechanics. Great job!

ashashza 2019-10-10 13:02

This was great.

As others have said, it's got a really nice atmosphere and a solid visual style.

I most enjoyed building my craft and seeing it become it's own beast over time.

hajden 2019-10-10 15:31

Really, really good

cryptex 2019-10-11 03:00

Very cool game, simplistic, audio is there, gameplay is there, perfect quality jam game!

selkkie 2019-10-11 10:57

Very impressive! Super professional work, everything is on point! There were a few pathfinding bugs that were a bit annoying- when trying to build some things the character ended up walking into the water, and if he was in the water when the thing was done building, he'd drown and I'd lose the whole ship.

Still though, it was very fun to play, and I appreciated that starting over was never too much effort, since you're immediately put back how you started. The cannons were also sort of unclear to me, I couldn't work out what their range was exactly I think? I ended up getting blindsided by a random cannon raft my first runthrough, and subsequent playthroughs when I'd set up cannons in response to mine alerts I ended up getting mine'd anyways.

Really though, even that wasn't a big deal, I was never too frustrated, and that's what kept me going to build a better more defensive raft.

Still though, this is really awesome work, and already worth selling as it is- I really hope you guys expand on this game and release it!

tobb 2019-10-13 13:11

Really solid entry, fit the theme well and had some really innovative game mechanics! Probably the game i spent the most time playing out of any of the game jams!

Could really see this becoming a full fledged title if you add more progression!

zanzavar 2019-10-14 13:33

Amazing work! Great polishing and really fun gameplay! I really liked the fact that you could restart immediately after the raft gets destroyed. Congrats!

sean-s-leblanc 2019-10-14 19:55

Very well done! Cute visuals and solid core concept!

nathaniel-jensen 2019-10-14 20:55

Great game! Well put together! Good work!

fizzpowmike1 2019-10-15 16:32

This is such a fun little game, makes me think of a simplified raft simulator. As polished as this is, I could actually see it competing well on the mobile market.

ajahks 2019-10-16 17:44

This is a super addicting and fun game! The feeling of constantly having to repair is balanced with the feeling of being able to expand easily. Feels rewarding

merijndk 2019-10-16 20:32

Love it. Gret visuals and gameplay. It feels really polished for a game that has been made in a single weekend. Great work!

coleslaughter 2019-10-17 04:27

Wowee this game runs buttery smooth on WebGL despite being a 3D game, nicely done!

I love the slow ramp-up of this game, and the slow learning about the way all of the mechanics interact. The way hazards destroy parts of your raft and how cannonballs can be blocked by other fixtures you have set up...it all felt very natural. All in all this is a super well-polished game, nice job!

saucygames 2019-10-18 04:15

fun

mortus 2019-10-19 19:27

Fun idea and a great execution! I liked the visuals a lot. The only issue for me is that it felt a bit slow, sometimes you feel like you don't have much to do, because everything is automatic.

daria-toni 2019-10-21 11:06

About a year ago, my friends and I had an idea about a game about building a raft of garbage. Your game looks something like that and it's so great! Because we never used our idea. I wonder how you managed to make it in such a short time! It looks and sounds amazing. I quickly realized that there's not much to do, but everything works as it should (in my opinion). The only problem for me is the inability to destroy buildings or move them (but I understand that this is a lot of extra work). I also thought there was a little bit of balance missing, but for jam everything is done very well. Great entry!

redz0ner 2019-10-21 19:35

Wunderfull sound and graphic design combined with superb gameplay. I want to play it again and again. Best entry so far.

j-fret 2019-10-24 18:47

This game was such a blast to play! I would definitely buy a full version if there was one!

strega 2019-10-25 06:21

Really nice take on the theme. The building mechanics work really well and the graphics are nice, clean, and cute. Sounds worked really well too. I like the introduction of enemy boats. I wasn't sure if there was more content after encountering the boats, a played for a good while.

dans17 2019-10-27 03:40

Excellent entry! My only complaint is that the game often breaks after playing for a while, forcing you to restart. It would also be cool if you added multiplayer to this! The interaction with other players might be limited, but it would be cool to see other players' raft designs and pit yours against them.

lagman9000 2019-10-28 21:53

Really enjoyed playing! A really polished jam, could easily see this being a full game :smiley:
